Studdy Solution

STEP 1

What is this asking? We need to figure out how many minutes are in 193 hours, and then how many days are in 193 hours. Watch out! Don't mix up your conversion factors!
Remember there are 60 minutes in an hour and 24 hours in a day.

STEP 2

1. Convert hours to minutes
2. Convert hours to days

STEP 3

Alright, let's **start** with our **initial value**: 193193 hours.
We want to convert this to minutes.

STEP 4

We know there are 6060 minutes in 11 hour.
This is our **key conversion factor**!
We can write this as a fraction: 60 minutes1 hour\frac{60 \text{ minutes}}{1 \text{ hour}}.
Notice how the units are part of the fraction!

STEP 5

Now, **multiply** our **initial value** by our **conversion factor**:
193 hours60 minutes1 hour193 \text{ hours} \cdot \frac{60 \text{ minutes}}{1 \text{ hour}}

STEP 6

See how the "hours" unit appears in both the numerator and denominator?
They divide to one and **vanish**, leaving us with just minutes!
This is why it's called *unit analysis* – the units guide us!
19360 minutes=11580 minutes193 \cdot 60 \text{ minutes} = 11580 \text{ minutes}

STEP 7

So, 193193 hours is equal to **1158011580 minutes**!

STEP 8

Now, let's convert our **initial value** of 193193 hours to days.

STEP 9

We know there are 2424 hours in 11 day.
This gives us the **conversion factor**: 1 day24 hours\frac{1 \text{ day}}{24 \text{ hours}}.

STEP 10

Let's **multiply** our **initial value** by this **new conversion factor**:
193 hours1 day24 hours193 \text{ hours} \cdot \frac{1 \text{ day}}{24 \text{ hours}}

STEP 11

Again, the "hours" unit divides to one, leaving us with just days!
19324 days \frac{193}{24} \text{ days}

STEP 12

Now, **divide** 193193 by 2424:
193248.041666 days\frac{193}{24} \approx 8.041666\ldots \text{ days}

STEP 13

The problem asks us to round to **one decimal place**.
So, 193193 hours is approximately equal to **8.08.0 days**!

STEP 14

193193 hours is equal to 1158011580 minutes. 193193 hours is approximately equal to 8.08.0 days.
